SKeithports Martin’s Car Market™ The Insider’s Guide to Collecting, Investing, Values and Trends Volume 23, Number 1 tools to navigate the Market by Keith Martin MV. Fair market value. That’s what we all want to know. F What’s a 1979 Ferrari 308 GTB worth? What should I pay for a 1965 Mustang fastback GT? Are Mercedes pontons going up or down in value? This Price Guide, our 23rd, is one of many tools you can use to answer that question. As the number of cars in our proprietary database increases — it now stands at over 300,000 recorded public sales — we are able to examine trends in terms of the median prices of cars that have sold. Not every model in this guide makes it to auction every year, so in those few cases we’ve reached out to experts in private sales for our median price. In addition, we have our unique Investment Grade rating, changes from last year’s median price, and production numbers — data you won’t find in any other Price Guide. As the collector-car market matures, buyers are paying more attention to provenance, correct- ness and condition. A 1967 Alfa Duetto that is a rusty fright pig can be worth $7,500, while a concours example that is correct in every way will bring nearly $100,000 if presented to the right buyer, at the right time, in the right way. The median price for Duettos that have sold at auction is just one of your valuation tools. As always, there is no substitute for consulting an expert before making a purchase. Whatever you spend will be money well spent given just how expensive repairs and restorations are these days. That a car has issues is no reason to walk away from it. But it can help prepare you for how much you will have invested by the time your car is done. We’re constantly working to improve this price guide, and we will include additional makes and models with each update to keep track of this expanding market.

Investment Grade: Note: This is not a value appreciation guide. Rather, it is an overall ranking of the desirability of the car, regardless of current market conditions. A Grade: Cars that will always have a following and will always bring strong money when they are offered for sale. They embody the attributes of style, performance, historical significance, rarity and competition history that often typify first-rank collectibles. Examples are the Ferrari SWB, the Mercedes-Benz 300Sc roadster and the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza. B Grade: Cars that have something special about them, often technical innovation, style or competition provenance — but normally not all three. They were generally produced in far larger numbers than the A-tier cars. Examples are the Austin- Healey 100-4, the Ferrari 512 BB and the Lotus 7. C Grade: Cars that have some inherent interest but had few special or desirable character- istics. Examples are the Porsche 914, the Saab Sonett II and the Triumph TR4. D Grade: Cars that had the potential to be interesting but failed to be successful in the collector car marketplace, often due to design, engineering or styling flaws. Examples include the Ferrari 400 2+2 and the Alfa 2600 Sprint. F Grade: Cars with few if any redeeming characteristics, that are consequently hopeless in nearly every way. Examples include the Alfa Romeo Alfetta sedan automatic and the Lotus Eclat. % Change notes: NL† Indicates new listing n/c Indicates no change Adj.
